We recently had one of our frequent audience members come through and write up a piece on why Rouge was her favorite spot for a Tuesday night. Check out the article at the Edmonton Journal. And come check us out on Tuesday nights!

The inaugural Edmonton Poetry Slam team is headed to the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in Ottawa to compete at the national slam competition. So, we are holding a fundraiser show to help us send our team to Ottawa. Please come out and support us! We would love to see you at the show.
